I'm saying what people say hurt and stays.
Actually, I understand better now what you were trying to say. I did read your post, but misunderstood your point. I gather you mean that once something is said by someone, they can't delete it, or take it back- and the effect it has on the person it has been said to remains, even when the words leave the screen.
I would agree in one sense- in that once cut by someone's verbal (or typed) assault, the imprint stays in your memory for a long time.
However, it does not change the fact that that person may have had a bad day themselves, and the person being shouted at, or spammed, etc, may just have been the focus of all the day's frustrations. Although this isn't a good excuse, that person may normally be good-natured and/or a good player. So, in this regard, I'd say that words can change, in that the next time you meet the same person, they may not have the same temperament. However, if you're /blisting people who
constantly spam and/or harrass you, then this isn't just them having a bad day... they're asshats, and deserve it.
Now, having said all this, I am
not saying don't /blist anyone- I still do it regularly. All I'm saying is that you can have a bad experience with even good people.
Edit: One thing I don't get is people telling other posters not to post about someone else. The whole point of this thread is to post your experiences of
why you've /blisted someone.
I can appreciate defending a friend or someone you have had a good experience with, but rather than tell someone else to back off, tell that person why they should give your friend or acquaintance another chance- it's less hostile, and they'll be more likely to listen. I don't have any more right to post my /blist story than anyone else- and that applies to everyone here.
Just my 2 gil.
